Napoleon Bonaparte, called Bony, greatest detective in the world, is sent by the police to town in Australia to investigate strange dissapearance of man and possibly his murder. Bony is half-caste, neither Aboriginal nor Australian, but his methods are unusual and effective in solving crimes. By deceiving people who he is, he delves into strange aboriginal magic and drunken Australians. Good crime novel and very strange.
